The US toll includes both people who went out to pee and people who drove vehicles too close to the stranded convoy, which the US interpreted as ISIS fighters coming to help. There were also reports before that a large number of ISIS fighters managed to escape the convoy and reach ISIS territory.

US spokesman Col. Ryan Dillon says the US has proposed a settlement of the convoy issue with Russia. The proposal would allow civilians to leave the buses safely, though the US insists all ISIS fighters be killed. Russia was not a party to the original deal, and doesn’t appear to have taken the proposal as a chance to get involved.

It’s simple! The USA just spreading democracy and protecting our freedoms the world over. Which is apparently only able to be achieved by mass slaughter of brown colored males between the ages of 15 and 55.

Brown coloured males above 55 and below 15 are also dangerous, as are brown coloured women.
The obvious solution is the Great Wall of Trump to keep them all out, and the production of all US oil in the United States. Build GE breeder reactors to substitute for all the coal and gas this’d take. The money wasted on Middle Eastern wars could easily pay for all of this.
The locals in the Middle East are perfectly capable of mismanaging their affairs without US assistance, and should be left alone to do so.
